Carl Baker has been named MK Dons’ Player of the Year for 2014/15.

Signed as a free agent back in September, Baker quickly established himself as a fans’ favourite at stadiummk with his wholehearted performances and his eye for goal – the 32-year-old has scored nine times in 34 appearances going into the final game of the campaign.

Baker was presented with the gong – which is voted for by the supporters - at the Club’s awards ceremony on Tuesday evening, along with the many other winners on the night.

Teenage sensation Dele Alli was named Players’ Player of the Year by his team-mates after another stunning season in central midfield, while David Martin won Save of the Season for his terrific stop against Manchester United in the Capital One Cup.

Will Grigg walked away with two awards – Goal of the Season for his superb goal against Man Utd and Top Goalscorer. He was presented with the gong by former strike partner Benik Afobe, who made a return to Milton Keynes for the evening.

Afobe was also on hand to receive the Team Performance of the Year award alongside his old team-mates for the unforgettable triumph over Man United back in August.

Other winners on the night include Giorgio Rasulo (Academy Player of the Year), Claire Hollingsworth (Ladies Player of the Year) and Daniel Ellis (MKDSA Disability Player of the Year)
